Then Pat read Bernie's homage to Thanksgiving ... namely that despite
whatever trials, tribulations, penance, shame, doubt and
recriminations one might have suggesting little or no reason for one
to celebrate a ritual like Thanksgiving ... lo isn't that exactly when
the gesture and devotion are all the more relevant and appropriate ...
Bravo, Bullya and Kol HaKavod to both Pat and Bernie for reminding us.

Christine Craft, who is substituting for everybody this week, was on last
night (Saturday) and read a prayer from Bernie.

I wonder how many of Bernie's fiercest critics have given to any
Thanksgiving charity.

Wow. This is one of the meanest, nastiest remarks ever seen in any
forum. Bernie Ward didn't create those 4 relief agencies, he and KGO
mere raised money to help feed these people who have nothing. I guess
Ciccio thinks they ought to go hungry. Bad bad bad.

Oh, and that from a perverted piece of shit who hero worships another

Oh how true you are, I see it all the time.

Those who complain about littering are always throwing trash out the
window and dumping their oil in the storm drain.
Those who complain about violence in society are usually beating their
wife, their kids, and their dogs in the privacy of their own homes.
Those who say we should stop global warming are the very ones keeping
their homes at 80 degrees in winter.
And those who say they never listen to KGO are never far from a 810AM
earbud stuck in the side of their head...

yes, find a complainer and you'll find a culprit.
The "rule" always holds true.

You've nailed it once again. A very perceptive logic you've
developed.

Now, I'm gonna put on my hat and go tell some bald guys to grow some
hair. Let me at them.

Indeed. Those who are guilty of being gay usually make the most

The term "guilty" is an interesting way of saying it. In my own life I've

You're laughing, but it happens to be true. The most homophobic people out
there are gay themselves. Take the Catholic Church, for instance. You'd be
hard pressed to find any institution outside of Islam that is so, SO anti-gay.
And yet, we all know about the priest sex scandals.

And look at the politicians who get caught in public restrooms, or have
gentlemen friends on the side. Heck, even pianist Liberace once sued a
tabloid for libel for claiming he was gay. And he won.

Again, I could never see what the big to-do is. People are fun to look at and
fun to have sex with, some more than others. Big deal.

Oh, you mean you would do all the acts that Bush did, because you

And yet there are billions of Catholics who adhere to the doctrine who
are gay. The connection you are asserting is bullshit. In fact,
statistically it is a small exception, not even being close to the
rule.

As for homosexual pedophiles priests, they are not "projecting" secret
desires. Quite simply, they are wolves in sheep's clothing. Many
pedophiles enter into professions where they have a position of trust
with children. DUH!

And some not all. Hell, there are people out there who find eating
shit as being sexual fun. To me, that and homosexual sex are both
equally repulsive, but if somebody else wants to do it, it shouldn't
be any biggie. Most definitely, such is nothing upon which to base the
denial of civil rights.

How does that make valid your most absurd and stupid statement that
all or most, or even many, people who complain about criminal
perverts, are really "closet criminal perverts"? That is really is a
desperately extreme argument in trying to defend criminal perverts. I
wonder why you're doing that? Hmmm.

That is a most erroneous statement of the facts. The facts were
recited in painstaking detail in the media, on here, and if anybody
wants to pay a buck or two to view the official court file online,
they're available there.

While I do think Bernie's sentence was far too long and that he would
have learned any lesson he needed by this day, to just label those
images as "dots on a screen" is rather pathetic.

Why didn't you just say electrons or photons, making it even less
troublesome.

There were images of young children being tortured. (if you read the
sentencing report...gagged, bound)

Surely they are more than simple "dots on a screen".

Well then you are denying the facts contained plainly in the court
records. I read them, those are the fact the Pervert Bernie's lawyer
accepted in his arguments to dismiss. Those are the facts the pervert
Bernie admitted to.

Now, that's a fairly sick comment.

One wonders if you ever allowed yourself to read the sentencing
report.
3 year old children involved.

Take a look at this ABC7 page which contains the link to the report.
Read the pdf file if you dare.

http://iteamblog.abc7news.com/2008/08/new-details-of.html

Then come back and tell us its nothing but "dots on a screen".

Yet you rest your case on "uber-Catholics" from Brazil being the
responsible party. Most likely the parents.

Sick, real sick comments.

Imagine going up to someone on the street and telling them your
version of events. Then let them read the sentencing report.

Wonder which version they'll find most persuasive.
Your nothing but "dots on a screen" ? I doubt it.

Not much to know about it, though you sickos like to cloak it as

I wouldn't know. I just returned from the Southland

As radio goes, I'm afraid San Francisco is for hicks. It's not

Sure, we know how cultured you are, but what about all those you pass

I'm suggesting the next time you pass a Dallas tattoo parlor, you

I did see "KGO" stenciled on some dude's arm

The reason that "Performance Today" is not carried here is that the Bay Area
is strong enough financially to support a commercial classical music station,
unlike other markets where classical music is put on a non-comm station,
sometimes as a format of last resort.

And in generations past, the Bay Area was able to support two commercial
classical stations.

KDFC is a classical station and I am proud owner of the George

and deeds to Boardwark and Park Place.

Whether you agree with their programming policies or not, KDFC is a classical
music station programmed by a classical musician. So, get over yourself.

You may remember that KQED-FM once had a classical format of the kind you
desire, but it didn't do well enough to continue. Classical music, like jazz
and other fringe genres, don't have mass appeal, and thus don't survive well
on mass media such as radio.

It's been my contention all along that there is enough great local music to
fill the schedule of a radio station. I know because I book it.

But that's only one hurdle. The SF Comicle kills things by promoting only
touring acts that come from far away, totally ignoring some of the most
amazing musicians in the world right in their own back yard.

Hell, I get better coverage of my live local music series in the Contra Costa
Times than I do in the Comicle, SF Weekly, or the Guardian. They're all
guilty of being hypnotized by the mystery of acts from afar.

The other night we had Honeycomb, a singer/songwriter ensemble featuring
ukulele, marimba, upright bass, and various other instruments, and a singer
who appeared to be singing her own language. It was astonishing. The theater
was packed. In fact, we oversold and people were sitting on the floor and
standing.

It was stations like Pirate Cat that gave air to acts like that, and Tornado
Rider, Classical Revolution, and the like.

>It just

KALW has good music programming. For the most part this has happened because
they hadn't been funded for a program director position in about 15 years.
So, basically, if someone was available to put on a show and they sounded
good, chances were that they got a slot. This is how Henri-Pierre Koubaka got
his Kumpo Beat program on KALW. (He has since returned to Senegal.)

>"Performance Today" is a fantastic program and no place is the poorer
>for having it.

I first encountered PT on KOPB in Portland 15 or more years ago. I agree that
it is an excellent program. Well, one thing you can do if you're so
interested in having the program in the Bay Area is sponsoring an hour on one
of the non-comm stations to run it. While some stations would balk at this
kind of arrangement, others especially cash-strapped KCSM, would probably jump
at it.

Reread the report. Look at this:
--------------------
The FBI obtained a federal search warrant for defendant's residence.
They also spoke with defendant, his wife, and two of his children.
Forensic analysis of the computers revealed no matches to the images
that AOL supplied through its warrant. Further, no evidence
of chats were retrieved from the computer evidence.
----------------------

Does this sound like a peddler of kiddie porn? You read the arrests.
Those clowns have thousands of images.

The chat logs are just chat. I can't believe that crap is entered in
evidence. I see the "father Bernie" crap was also in the report,
though unproven.

I mention the throw away kids because that is where much of this crap
comes from. I heard this on various news reports.

I say throw the makers of this porn in jail. Throw the human
traffickers in jail. But tell some schmuck with 3 photos on his Mac to
cut that crap out or and there better not be a next time. This is a
waste of resources that could be spent going after serious criminals
rather than distributors of 20 year old photos.

While we are at it, are the other 10 people in the "ring" now in jail?
Or just Bernie.

Its called "cloud computing"...100 images in his account.

As the A-Team article said about the sentencing report,

"it contains the most graphic descriptions yet of 100 images the FBI
found in Ward’s e-mail account -- mostly girls from three to nine
years of age; some being bound, gagged and brutally sexually abused.

On his computer or just as accessible in his e-mail account, it wasn't
1 photo or 3 photo it was 100 images they found.

This is a

Show me anywhere it says that the 100 images were all 20 years old.
You keep going on about this "20 year old" business.
Tell me, give me your cut off date for when its OK to pass on child
porn.
20 years and its OK... How about 15 years. How about 10 years.
How about 4 years?
So tell me, in your wisdom and morality, what is the date after which
its OK to distribute child porn images?
Your answer should prove interesting.

Just Bernie. Just like if he was not paying his taxes, the first
person they'd go after would be the celebrity.
That's just the way it is.

Now, I think they could have served justice with 18 months or perhaps
2 years. They could let him out now and he'd certainly have learned
his lesson. But thats not how the law was written.

His latest blog is all about food and the shortage of it for some.

The broadcast program at CSM went away for years and is just barely

There are some partisans who consider only symphonic and chamber music to be
"serious". It's a class issue, more than likely, because the landed gentry
would always go out to such concerts in order to show their wealth to others.

Being a cross-genre kind of guy I can't see that a symphony is any more
serious than a composition by Adam Theis for his Jazz Mafia.

This is the first time that I have been lumped into the "landed

My interpretation of the AOL forensics is he received that many
images. It does not mean he kept that many images. It's really not
cloud computing in any case.

It is never OK to distribute kiddie porn. However, it would be much
more useful to go after the creators of such material than toss a man
in jail for 7 years for looking at an image. I be you are the type to
complain about government waste, and yet you want to prosecute this
kind of case. When the dust settles, we the tax payers will have spent
$700 locking him up, probably $300 on the trial and investigation,
plus we lost the taxes that Bernie would have been paying to the feds.
So you spent a million bucks per criminal, and nothing, I repeat
nothing will have been done to stop this crap from floating around the
net. The money is better spent protecting today's children, not crimes
from 20 years ago. Get it Chester?

WGBH-FM is dumping the classical, focusing that music on the newly
acquired WCRB.

From Scott Fybush's NorthEast Radio Watch, put out early this morning:

http://www.fybush.com/nerw.html

"At midnight tonight, more than half a century of commercial classical
music in Boston will come to an end, and a new era in eastern
MASSACHUSETTS radio will get underway.

That's when public broadcaster WGBH takes over operation of WCRB (99.5
Lowell) from Nassau, moving classical programming off WGBH (89.7) -
and we now have a sense of what the daytime programming on 89.7 will
look like after the flip:"

"At midnight tonight" means Monday night into Tuesday morning. Scott
publishes with an early Monday AM date.

The rest of the article tells you that WGBH-FM will take the
now-familiar role of a pubradio news/talk outlet, though "for now" it
will still air jazz at night (a la Sacramento's otherwise news/talk
KXJZ). The situation is complicated - much like it is in Sacramento -
by the existing presence of news/talk-heavy public outlet WBUR in
Boston, which is owned by Boston University.

Oh, for crissakes... WGBH had talk and "classical"
music. It's dropping music on its primary channel. Its
acquisition WCRB plays serious music 24 hours,
and is carried on WGBH-HD2. The two together
cover most of eastern Massachusetts. The
classical channel will also be carried by a
low power station on Nantucket Island.

Thanks for the additional information, Mike.

Even though I'm a KQED member and love KQED-FM here in the Bay Area,
I was concerned for KXJZ when KQED entered the Sacto market. I hope
they're doing okay.

Personally, I thought it was rude for KQED to go into the Sacto market. CPR
was doing just fine. Better they should have extended their radio reach
toward Stockton and the troubled KUOP.

I agree that Sacramento probably can't support two
NPR stations indefinitely. But didn't KXJZ play a
little serious music before they went to an
all-jazz format? Competition from
KQEI is their reward, on top of summers
that are like Dallas.

(Sacramento at least cools off a tad.
Dallas summer nights stay in the mid-90s
until the wee hours.)

Question for Christine Craft, if you're
around: which Sacto NPR station do you
listen to?

C-SPAN2's been on here in the left
ear with the volume turned down to
nearly subaudible. They're arguing the
health care bill in the Senate and last
weekend, even set aside Book TV to carry
a rare Saturday session. Of course,
I have my ear glued to all the media
to receive the latest bulletin on
Tiger Woods.

They have some hedges that could help them...an extensive network of
stations, including in the Sierra and eventually, Stockton's KUOP, and
the dual news/talk(/jazz) and classical programming.

Plus, there's the fact that except for Bay Area transplants or
visitors, KXJZ has had a big head start.

I haven't checked KQED-FM's programming listings as of late, but I
(still) don't think they do anything specific for KQEI other than
Metro-delivered traffic/weather updates.

(The state government/Capital programming doesn't count, of course,
since it's only local to Sacramento by physical location on a map. :D)

I'm no longer going to respond to you on this issue. You're obviously trying
to bait us over the "serious music" issue.

Not that anymore, either. Since Metro merged offices they now offer a traffic
update that includes both the Bay Area and Sacto.

He didn't look at dots on a screen. He looked at child porn. You know,
the product of children being tortured. He contributed to that
activity. He, himself, sent it as well. And not just once, but many
times.

Sorry, his bullshit altruism doesn't get him a free pass. He does the
crime, he does the time. He's nobody special. That's the way it's
suppose to work. I dislike it when

Actually not. But let's say that were so, I never committed a felony,
much less one that contributed to the sexual torture of children.
Nothing I did ever made my family suffer the way he is making his
family suffer. Any person who contributes to the sexual torture of
children and inflicts suffering upon his family because of his own
selfish wants, is a selfish piece of shit...Try to wrap your head
around that.

People whose activities contribute to the sexual torture of children
are dangerous enough to send to jail.

Your illogical and constant protest that pervert Bernie did nothing
"that" wrong speaks volumes. What is it that you did that makes you
feel so guilty? Hey, it's just between us, oh and the internet, oh and
the police department's sex offense detail.

You mean as opposed to actually contributing to an industry that is
responsible for the sexual torture of hundreds of thousands of
children? You mean, his acutally blatantly violating a law that
plainly sets forth harsh penalties? No need to be hypothetical, what
he did is sufficiently egregious.

If that's your excuse for discussing the subject irrationally, so be

My opinion of Bernie's incarceration is completely logical. This law
is being applied very selectively. For instance, you are still on the

ciccio, your obsession to gainsay the obvious is almost unbelievable,
But you've impressed me so much, I'm buying you a radio station and
getting you your own show. It'll be called "Dog Talk" and it'll be on
my radio station KBZO AM &FM, and guess what, you'll be directly
opposite Ray T. He'll probably wipe the floor with you but that's
okay. The people at Circus Circus who own the station promised me
they'd keep you on for comic relief even if nobody's listening. For
ratings, you'll probably windup doing it doggie style and have puppies
but then that's show biness. I know you want to be Bernie's bitch but
this arrangement will have to do unless of course you can break Bernie
out early so he can salvage your career and dignity at KBZO. Good
luck.

Nothing wrong with the being selective, provided it's right in the
selection. Like in the instance to which you refer. I have never
committed a felony, much less a despicable one like pervert Bernie
did, and I am not in prison. The despicable felon pervert Bernie,
however, is in prison. Perfect!

It's snowing in Dallas. The DSO has a Christmas Pops series
going on which I've been roped into attending this weekend.
Maybe they'll play that classic "Rudolph the Red-Nosed
Reindeer". Fort Worth, which never ceases to surprise,
has a top notch symphony orchestra which I've seen
four or five times at this gem of a place called
Bass Hall, also home of the quadrennial Van
Cliburn Piano Competition. The serious music
scene here is on the order of the Bay Area, but
not as good say as L.A. Nevertheless, a
talented fiddler can get a gig anywhere.

Not in the least. I was there at the invitation of the longtime Chief
Research Attorney, a childhood friend, who introduced me to Justice
Grodin.

My friend could have been nominated for a judgeship any time he wanted
and I always wondered why he never wanted one. Maybe he knew better.
